RUSH: How many of you people have seen Algore\u2019s movie? We talked about this, by the way, before the movie came out. This mysterious current, the Gulf Stream and other related currents in the Atlantic, and they cycle warm water up north, and they keep Britain moderately temperate. The climate is moderate. It doesn\u2019t get too cold, doesn\u2019t get too hot, and if this current ever stopped, why, it could wreak havoc on Britain. Of course, in the Gore movie, this current is stopping, and it\u2019s slowing down, and it may be disappearing, and this is because of global warming. But we have new information, ladies and gentlemen…<\/p>\n

(Playing of What a Horrible World.)<\/p>\n

RUSH: … that says it\u2019s just normal. ‘Scientists,\u2019 by the way, say this.<\/p>\n

(song continues)<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s Paul Shanklin as Algore, ‘What a Horrible World.\u2019 That\u2019s a takeoff, of course, on Louis Armstrong\u2019s great, great song, ‘What a Wonderful World.\u2019 Now, don\u2019t confuse this story with the story we had yesterday. The story we had yesterday on ocean currents was scientists just discovered a new one in Australia. They never knew it was there, and my gosh, it\u2019s making all kinds of impact on global warming, but we didn\u2019t know it was there! Well, if they\u2019re just learning about it now, is it in their computer models? Obviously not. This story deals with an entirely different current. ‘A massive ocean circulation pattern that plays a crucial role in shaping the world\u2019s climate may not have been slowing down over the last few decades as scientists previously believed. This according to a study released yesterday. The perceived slowdown had been considered alarming support for computer predictions, that global warming would disrupt the planet\u2019s heat regulation. In a single year of measurements published in today\u2019s issue of the journal Science, the scientists found enough normal variation in the pattern to suggest that previous studies were premature in asserting a long-term trend.\u2019<\/p>\n

That should be ‘panic,\u2019 long-term panic. They\u2019re trying to create a long-term panic here. We talked this current. It\u2019s like a conveyor belt in the ocean, and it takes warm weather across the Atlantic north towards the British islands, and then circulates it back down from Florida in that area, and it takes warm water north and brings cold water south, and they thought this current was slowing down and even stopping. It would have had a dramatic effect if it was right. It would have a dramatic effect, particularly on the weather in the British islands. But it\u2019s not slowing down. It\u2019s a normal circulation. So a panic was created over nothing. I think I\u2019m right — I usually am right when I think I\u2019m right because I\u2019m usually right even when I think I\u2019m wrong, but I think I\u2019m right on this. I think this current gets a lot of play in Algore\u2019s movie. (interruption) It does? Thank you. Snerdley, did you see it? Oh, okay. He rented it. This is an LA Times story, and they don\u2019t mention the Algore movie in this story, but there is a version in the Associated Press that does talk about it.<\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s a question: When will scientists ever learn? This stems from the arrogance and conceit that human beings are capable of. These scientists see some change in nature and then fret over it being a long-term trend. If you have a template out there (a narrative, if you will) that man is destroying the planet by warming the climate, and we\u2019ve only got a few short years to stop this, and then you see something that you think is a change in nature that\u2019s never, ever happened before — which, of course, is not possible. There is nothing that can happen in nature that has never happened before, but our arrogance and conceit makes us think, ‘Maybe it\u2019s happened before but they\u2019re worse more than ever because of us!\u2019 So they see this change in the current, and then they fret over it being part of a ‘long-term trend\u2019 that they turn into a panic. First, we were told that a 30% reduction in water flow in the North Atlantic current in the last 50 years could mean a mini-ice age for Europe. ‘Oh, my God! Oh, my God, no! An ice age! Oh, no!\u2019 Now the scientists tell us, ‘Never mind. We found that the strength of the current can actually fluctuate by a factor of eight over a single year.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Emily Litella time here. ‘Never mind.\u2019 Folks, you need to have an age-old attitude about this stuff as global warming science. ‘Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.\u2019 Fool me three times, you must be a scientist.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
